*LYRICS*

(oh no, we’re ‘fraid he’s got to go…)

i quietly pick like a pickpocket
i’m buying a tickety tick-tock
oh i’m in it to win it
so you’d better begin it
ping-pong pop to the top and they match up

flippity floppity flip flop
hippity hoppity hip hop
i just won the lottery
now find me some property
hippity hoppity hip hop

flippity floppity flip flop
hippity hoppity hip hop
i climbed to the top, you see, and all was revealed to me
i climbed to the tippity tip top

where i found out…

god is a monkey
and his son was a junkie
but his devil dog don’t bite
the holy ghost, he was a dinosaur
listen closely and you’ll hear him roar
in the middle of the night…

(when the full moon’s shining bright…)

created mankind in his image
one million years ago
and one million years later…
you’d never even know

because…

god is a monkey
and his son was a junkie
but his devil dog don’t bite
and mother mary was a prostitute
she worked the streets of what is now beirut
the first lady of the night…

god came to moses
no bed of roses
became a burning bush
that bush was burning
and now we’re learning
that bush was burning us…

we’re building robots
they look just like us
you’d never even know
’til one million years later
“them humans awful slow…”

that was 2000 years ago…
ooo them humans awful slow…

crowd, come listen
crowd, come listen
y’all don’t know just what you’re missing
made a firm decision, set out on a mission
get the crowd to come and listen to him
he had to stand on trial for a little while
get the crowd to come and listen to him

crowd, come listen
crowd, come listen
y’all don’t know just what you’re missing
(we’ve got the trial of the century on us…)
and you’ll all know it when the doomsday’s upon us…)
he’s got a new world vision…
got some strong positions…
make the crowd come listen to him…
turn on your television…
turn off your inhibitions…
get the crowd to come listen to him…

crowd, come listen
crowd, come listen
y’all don’t know just what you’re missing
jumped through hoops of fire on a tightrope fire
then they’d listen to him…
then he became addicted to the fame and was evicted
by the same people who brought him in

now there’s a space tonight
where once a stadium was filled with light
i saved a space here backstage for me and you…

(written winter 2007-2008)

“part 1” was composed in a corporate restroom
(BGC Partners NYC)
(after an early-morning wake-n-bake)

section B was composed after attending a jeff taylor concert at rockwood music hall in late spring 2008

section C is a pale imitation of creedence clearwater revival

section D is a reprise of the tagline for the ‘fireworks’ chorus

the first ones make the rules
(a courageous defendant as ‘sacrificial lamb’)

bad case of beginner’s luck…
(crucify the celebrities!)

(jogabop earth logo)

(first released as closing track of 2009 album “tabula rasa”)

(bandcamp page:)
(track 2 of “sim city”)
(after “roller coasters” instrumental introduction)

*REVIEWS*

(liliana liked the song)
(she compared the “crowd come listen” section to CCR)
(and thought the religious references were suitably blasphemous)

(we sang the song together @ 169 bar in june 2008)
